ABOUT ATTEMPTS on HER LIFE

Did she? Or didn’t she?

Eight women. One Anne. Many mysterious. AVLT presents a multi-media spectacular about one-woman’s quest for her true self.

British playwright Martin Crimp’s rarely-performed 1997 play consists of seventeen apparently disconnected scenes of mutually contradictory descriptions of an absent protagonist, a woman talked of
as if she were a terrorist, a victim, a betrayed wife, a vicious racist, the daughter of grieving parents, a self-destructive artist, and more. It’s been variously described by critics as cryptic, elusive, and fragmented.
